Hooked on 24 ..

Over the last year, many a colleague at work has mentioned that the serial "24" on FOX is a must see.

Being regular CSI watchers, the three of us (me, san and MIL) never switched on anything else. Recently, my wife's colleague also suggested we watch "24". So we decided to give it a try and requested the season 4 on Netflix.

They have the events happening over 24 hours shown as 24 one hour episodes, which look like they are happening real time (even the Ad's are timed during dead times in the episode)..

We watched the first four hours on disc 1 and couldnt handle the suspense. So, my brother in law and me went to the local blockbuster and got the remaining 5 DVD's and we practically watched 18 hours of the serial over three days! It did drag a little after the halfway point, but picked up speed again.

Kiefer Sutherland is amazing. I think he could have even pulled off as 007. He is such a natural for the role of a counter terrorism agent!

Now, we are really hooked to this serial.. cant wait to watch season 5 on DVD..
